## What is ScanMyPills?

ScanMyPills is an organizational and reference tool. It does not provide medical advice, diagnose conditions, or replace the judgment of a licensed healthcare provider. Interaction information is sourced from reference databases and provided for educational purposes only. Always consult a pharmacist or physician before making any change to a medication regimen.

Caring for a parent means being the one who remembers everything. Every medication, every dose, every change. ScanMyPills helps you keep track, so you're not carrying it all in your head.

CARE CIRCLE
Invite family members and caregivers to share one medication record. Everyone sees the same list, the same doses, the same history. No more "I thought you told me."

EMERGENCY SUMMARY
Generate a one-screen view with allergies, current medications, last dose, and emergency contacts. Built for ER visits and urgent care appointments. Export as a PDF or share directly from the app.

SCAN OR ENTER MANUALLY
Photograph a medication label and ScanMyPills reads the name, dosage, and expiration date. Edit any field before saving. No camera handy? Type it in by hand.

EVERY MEDICATION IN ONE PLACE
Prescriptions, over-the-counter, and supplements. All in one list, organized by person.

DAILY DOSE TRACKING
See every medication scheduled for today, grouped by time of day. Check off each dose as it's given. See who gave it and when.

LAST DOSE + ACTOR
Every dose log shows who marked it as taken. No more guessing between caregivers.

ACTIVITY LOG
Every medication change, dose, and note is recorded with a timestamp. A full audit trail for caregiving. Filter by the last 7 days, 30 days, or since the last doctor visit.

RECONCILIATION
Compare the medication list from a hospital discharge against what's already at home. See exactly what changed before giving the next dose.

SHARE A COMPLETE SUMMARY
One tap to share everything the doctor needs to know. Print it, email it, or show it on screen.

INTERACTION REFERENCE
Add multiple medications and ScanMyPills checks them against NIH and FDA reference databases. Results organized by severity, with plain-language explanations.

REFILL ALERTS
ScanMyPills tracks remaining supply and alerts you before you're at the pharmacy in a panic.

### 5/5 — Saved me so much time!!

*2026-07-09*

Really helpful app. The After Visit Summary feature saved me so much time after doctor appointments. I just scan the paperwork instead of entering everything by hand. Makes keeping medications organized a lot easier.

### 5/5 — Great app for managing family medications

*2026-05-28*

Helping take care of my family has honestly been stressful, but this app has made it a lot easier to keep track of everything. The Care Circle feature is really nice because everyone in the family can stay updated instead of texting back and forth all day.

I also like that it’s simple and not confusing like some other medication apps. Being able to see pill images and keep everything organized in one place has been super helpful.

**Developer response:** This genuinely means a lot to read. Caregiving is hard, and knowing the app is taking even a little off your plate is exactly why we built it. The Care Circle was made for moments like yours. Thank you for sharing this.
